Good morning SF.   I found this link http://mattrubinstein.com.a...  which claims the poem is (Quote) "from Canto 50 of In Memoriam AHH, which of course is Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s lengthy elegy to his Cambridge mate Arthur Henry Hallam"

Hugs to you.

(((((((((Hugs)))))))) Sage. My thoughts are with you. Be well.

You are in my prayers, Sage.

And for what it's worth, i believe no one dies alone.

We'll miss you ... come back soon, Sage!

Take care and lots of love sent your way from everyone here

Godspeed, Sage.

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

Enjoy your foray into the real world, Sage.

Hugs and Love, Sage. 

Take your time and take care of yourself.  There are lots of things to be excited about right now.  The only question is which one to enjoy first.  Treat yourself, get your groove back, and we'll see you when you come back.

BTW--That was a really beautiful poem.  Lovely memorial, and that's a great picture. 

Take care, Sage.

The best to you ...

Hopefully your recharging don't take long, and the retrofitting goes well. I can certainly understand needing to take a break from the blogs. I don't know any of you personally, yet feel others pain when the verbal wars get out of hand. No need for it to get to the name calling. All adults on here I thought. Certainly doesn't sound like it sometimes. Sometimes I log on just long enough to read a few things, then think, Nope not today. The ugliness can be overwelming. I'll keep you in my thoughts, and prayers.

Sometimes I wonder if "child" and "adult" loses its meaning.

I consider myself a child, yet I am reminded otherwise each time that my AARP Bulletin comes in the mail.

I know what you mean, though.

Sage

Take care of yourself.  You're a special person.

I was overwhelmed by your generosity yesterday when you took time from your own troubles to help me with mine.  Thank You.

I hear ya. Those dang people at AARP just won't stop reminding us of our age, will they? LOL Well thank God we can continue to learn, regardless of age.

All the best Sage. You're good people, as so many here can attest.

Oh Sage, I'm terribly sorry.  He is a beautiful boy, so handsome.  My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you continue on your journey to find that balance & peace of mind.  I have a feeling that your son is with you in spirit, probably thinking right now, "oh geez Mom, why did you have to put that picture up for everyone to see?!!"  And I'm sure he knows that there are many of us blogging friends that love you. 

God Bless You and Mr. Sage too.

 What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.

Thanks everyone~ I really appreciate the kind words,prayers and thoughts.Sometimes that is all that keeps me afloat.

Special thanks to Sys-mom...I hated quoting something and not knowing who wrote it!

Sage----You are most welcome. Helping my friends is one of my hobbies----
